Bar Karma (2010) s01e07 Episode Script

What the hell? Who are you? - I'm Dayna.
Who else is here? No one.
If I find out that you are lying to me, Dayna, this is going to get really ugly really fast.
You want to change your answer? No.
What is this place? This isn't what it looks like, okay.
You're here for a reason.
And, - And what? And, maybe I can offer you a drink.
Hey! Don't even think about moving.
Sit! Wrists together.
Bar Karma 1x07 "The Arrival" o-o-o, yeah, aaaaah,oooooooo, Yo-o-u-u will always reap what you sow.
What is this? 25 cent bill? Where's the real money? That's all we have.
Don't screw with me.
Where's the safe? Please.
If you could just put your gun down, I will explain everything.
If you don't me where you keep the cash, those are going to be your last words.
How's that for an explanation? All right.
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count.
Everything that counts can not necessarily be counted.
We have a situation out front.
Guy with a gun Dayna? Well, hold on a second.
We need to strategy.
- Yeah.
You work on that.
Hey! - Whoa! What's going on? Who are you? I work here.
Are you okay? - Yeah.
She's fine.
Sit! Someone's having a rough day.
You think I'm playing?! Look, just tell us what you want, okay? No, we need to figure out why he is here? Is there anything we can show him? Show me, what?! You would need to turn on the screen.
That a two-way mirror? People can see us? Try it.
The remote's on the bar.
career criminal, Joseph Lee, was gunned down by police today in this abandoned building.
Lee was pursued by police after robbing the jewelry store and beating the store owner, Milton Kaplan, to death.
What what the hell is that? Okay, just relax, it doesn't have to go down like that.
What what are they talking about, the old man died? I didn't kill him.
I never killed anybody.
You're here so we can try to help you.
Why are they saying that I'm dead? Maybe, the path you're on eventually leads there.
You might be safer here for a little while.
What'cha do? You set off some silent alarm, back there didn't you? I swear, you say anything to the cops, when they get here, you and me are at war.
Somehow, I knew that would happen.
How'd you do that? It's a long story.
How do I get out of here? That door in the back, where does it go? I don't think you want to go there.
I must say this is not as impressive as I thought it would be.
Although, I I suppose after thousands of years of waiting, expectations are a little high.
Joseph, I've been waiting for you.
How do you know my name? My name is Caleb.
And, I'm a big fan of your work.
Heh.
And, you and I are going to solve each others problems.
You know, 'cuz you got me in and I'm going to get you out.
Look, I don't want to hurt anybody, but I will.
Whoever's gonna help me get out, let's make it happen, right now.
Okay, let's untie Dayna - Hey! No.
No more people showing up, no more helpful suggestions.
This is just one suggestion on the table, get me out! Exactly.
Exactly.
We're very much alike.
You and I.
We're both thieves of the night.
You see, I know a way out of this rather drab place.
But, first I need your help.
What kind of help? May I come a little closer to you? I just I just want a word.
You know, a quiet word.
But first, may I ask you how it is you came to be here tonight? Who you thought you might find? It was supposed to be an easy job.
Quick in, quick out.
Mom and pop jewelry store.
But the old man guy got stupid, he went for his gun, I had to defend myself.
I had no choice.
I didn't even hit him that hard.
I just needed th I just needed the cash.
Yeah, things don't always go the way we want, do they? I know where the real money is, Joseph.
I'm gonna make sure you get everything you deserve.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- It's okay.
What's that? It's good faith and downpayment for your services.
What do you need? Ha! I haven't heard that ugly sound in a long time.
Oh, really James, is that the best you can do? That schoolboy insult? You know this man? Know me? You could say he owes me his life.
Right, James? Hands where I can see 'em, old man.
Actually, I'd say that we were square.
You and me.
How'd you get in here? I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "violence begets violence".
Surely, you know what I've come for.
You know I can't do that.
How do you put up with him? So difficult, always and argument.
This is between you and me.
Oh, it is now? I want you to untie her.
You That's interesting.
That's interesting.
Yeah, untie her.
If I can get out, where would that door take me? Doug.
Don't.
- I'm just asking.
Who's branching event will I wind up in.
- I don't know.
I get it.
It's not worth the risk.
Doug! No! So, let's get down to it, James.
I have nothing to say to you.
You were always such a petulant child, James.
I knew you'd never change.
Huh.
You'd have thought, after all this time, you would be happy to see me, again.
Little brother.
Join me? - I pass.
You can't shut me out, forever.
You need to go out the way you came in.
Eventually, yes, but first we have some business to transact.
Now, you understand this whole operation out here is finite.
You see, this universe, itself, is founded on the principle of decay.
You just talking about time.
No, I'm talking about the forces of the universe that compel everything inevitably toward destruction.
You're imposing a cynical belief system on the most glorious construct of all time and space.
And, you know it.
Well, just as you are, are, adopting an unsubstantiated positive outlook on what is clearly a grim cycle of randomness and, and, and chaos.
You're conveniently ignoring the magnificent power of restoration.
The flower that pushes itself up through the crack in the sidewalk.
Boy, everyone gets lost from time to time.
I am right where I am supposed to be.
So, are you.
At least you were.
Another stalemate.
You know, nobody ever wins at this game.
Not if both players know what they're doing.
You know, someday, James, you are going to make a mistake.
Unless you already have.
You've overstayed your welcome, Caleb.
Stop! I'm gonna let go, okay.
Okay.
I just wanted to get us out of there for a second.
Look, that guy back there, Caleb, I don't know what his endgame is yet.
But I do know you can not trust him.
Okay, I have an idea, how about you stay out of my business, huh.
How about that?! Look, let us help you find a different choice, with a different outcome.
Like, what? - I don't know, but that's what we do.
You're surrounded.
Place your weapons on the ground and come out with your hands up.
Look, you saw where this is headed.
Hey, you need me.
I need you.
Because I need a hostage.
That's not exactly what I had in mind.
Oh, crap! Now that the boys have had their little adventure, it's time for the men to take care of some unfinished business.
Not while we have a patron here.
We don't have much time left with him.
Well, I'll take care of joseph in a few minutes.
First, let me see them.
You're testing my patience.
You can't threaten me.
Don't be ridiculous, James.
I'm threatening her.
Hey! If I need you to shoot her, I'd really appreciate it if you did.
Now, let me see them, James.
You might want to come closer, Joseph.
These will interest you, as well.
Who is that? - That's my wife and my daughter.
Why is she crying? Well, let's see.
Guess that explains the tears, huh.
And, it means you don't have to die in a shoot-out with the police.
So, what you're telling me is, it's either death or jail.
Not much of a choice, is it.
There are times when the life we've lived only leaves us with a few viable branches.
No jail time in this branching event, looks like you either get probation or evade the police.
That's worse than jail, I I'm not a a working stiff.
Hey, at least you can be with your family.
Enough, after all this time, you're still using the same county-fair, fortune-telling cards? They're effective.
I know you better than that.
What else you got, James? I will kill the girl, you know.
I know.
Why, James, you been holding out on me.
This is magnificent.
I don't know what to say, I didn't know you had it in you.
Aah! Show me.
- There's several lifetimes of training invested here, Caleb.
No shortcuts on this one.
What did we just see.
- Nothing you'd understand.
Yet.
I said, sit down! Isn't his time here almost up? If I could be so bold, Joseph, there's a choice other than the ones you saw on those cards.
You could come with me.
No, that is not a real option, Joseph.
I'll show you things you never dreamed of.
No more petty robberies, no more mom and pop stores.
I got bigger things in store for you.
Important things.
There will always be a path that leads to more murder.
The glass is always half empty with him.
Don't listen to that.
It's a trick.
Think about your family, Joseph.
Stop! Stop! Everybody stop telling me what to do! You're right.
We can't decide for you.
The choice is yours, Joseph.
More money than you could spend in an entire lifetime.
Men from all walks of life, catering to you every want and need.
All you have to do is say yes.
I'm in.
Joseph, please! He's lying to you.
I'll take my chances.
I'll be back, James.
It's nice in here, when it's dark.
After you.
I can't believe he left with him.
Caleb has the cards.
I wouldn't worry to much about the cards.
Takes about 200 years to learn how to use them.
You never mentioned a brother.
I don't mention a lot of things, I wish didn't exist.
Wait, Caleb came in through the back door, and he left through the front.
We're in uncharted waters now.
There's no telling what Caleb can do now that he's out there.
What does that mean for us? It means we work harder, keep steady and build our skills.
Create new tools.
We'll do it.
Good.
We'll start by fixing the jukebox.
